New quarry could be too close to new subdivision GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING

Booming residential areas near Hei Hei could have a quarry near their backyards. A proposal by Fulton Hogan to obtain more land to quarry on Roberts Rd has almost gone unnoticed by residents living nearby. The city council has proposed to establish two new residential neighbourhoods in its city plan – North Halswell and South Masham. South Masham is proposed to be located north-west of Hei Hei, bordering Gilberthorpes

was so serious the community board lodged a submission opposing the proposal in January. She said it had slipped through unnoticed because few knew about the proposed South Masham and North Halswell. The hearing was in January with a decision pending. Fulton Hogan declined to comment. In its submission on the neighbourhood plan, it said that quarrying was a “temporary activity”. “Upon its completion, a wide range of other activities can establish on a site,” it said.

Riccarton-Wigram Community Board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton said Fulton Hogan could quarry as close as 60m from a residential area. Back in 2014, Fulton Hogan got resource consents from Environment Canterbury and the city council to undertake quarrying of 19.5ha of the property at Roberts Rd.

Both the Yaldhurst Residents’ Association and the Gilberthorpe Estate Residents’ Association were unaware of the proposal. Quarrying has been controversial in the area after

a joint proposal from the Canterbury Aggregates Group to dig up to 4m below the ground water line. Yaldhurst Residents’ Association chairman Bob Cross said he will be amazed if the proposal got through. “To push the unit that close is nothing short of nuts.” He said while Fulton Hogan are “quality operators”, digging close to a residential boundary just doesn’t seem right.

Anger over out-of-control drivers Call to fix problem bend in Hei Hei

GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING

Homeowners near a problematic sharp bend in Hei Hei are sick of drivers losing control, sending vehicles careening onto their properties. Kaniere Ave residents want the city council to fix the problem with speed bumps on the road. But police say this will excerbate the problem and send vehicles “airborne”. Kathy McCann is one of those residents who had her property seriously damaged. She wrote to the RiccartonWigram Community Board to plead for its help. As a result the community board has asked staff to look into solutions. Ms McCann said she has had three incidents in the past year. Most recently Ms McCann said a driver “ploughed”

through her property, demolished a weeping pear tree and ended up through the side of the garage. Worse still, she wrote, the driver tried to leave the Scott scene by driving Richardson through the McCanns’ hedge on the drive to their garage. As a consequence the driver hit Ms McCann’s car parked in the drive. Ms McCann said there was a considerable amount of damage

done to their property, house, three vehicles and landscaping. She said houses on either side of their’s have sustained damage after drivers lost control around the corner. One wheel came off a car and hit the garage door while another youth wiped out a street light and tree. She said it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured. Ms McCann requested speed bumps to be placed near the bend to stop people driving at high speeds.

But Senior Sergeant Scott Richardson said speed bumps were problematic. “If people hit them really fast they go airborne and that creates more danger and more noise.” He said by making the road narrower people will slow down. “Psychologically people slow down because they feel the road has got narrower.” Environmental changes could include placing an pedestrian aisle at the corner or placing islands in the middle of the road, he said. “The police would support it because it wouldn’t be really viable for us to do a lot of enforcement on.” Community board chairman Mike Mora agreed that installing speed bumps close to a bend could cause more problems. He said all these issues need to be looked at by the professional engineering staff.

School decile system – a blessing or a curse? School decile ratings are a contentious issue. Waltham School principal Gordon Caddie says they give the public an inaccurate way of assessing how ‘good’ a school might be. A recent review of school deciles put the spotlight back on the whole system of assigning each school in New Zealand a number from 1-9 based on household ‘economic indicators’ from the latest census. As some school deciles ‘went up’ they cried foul at thousands of dollars of lost funding, while other schools that ‘went down’, stayed understandably silent at their increased funding, coming as a result of their loss in social status. It’s hard to criticise the intention of the New Zealand Decile System. Giving extra resources to the schools that draw from poorer communities makes sense. After all it’s logical to assume these ‘lower decile’ com-

SOAP BOX munities have less ability to raise local funds and higher numbers of students requiring more support to reach such benchmarks as ‘national standards’. As principal of a lower decile school I have seen first-hand how hard it can be to raise local funds and how quickly the extra ‘decile funding’ can be swallowed up on extra teacher aide hours, staffing to keep class numbers manageable and even in some cases basic necessities such as food to feed hungry children. There is however, a concerning, unintended result of the decile system. The public has grabbed on to these numbers from 1-9 as a very convenient (yet very inaccurate) way of assessing how ‘good’ a

school might be. This, alongside a political climate that has encouraged parents to ‘shop around’ for the ‘best’ school, has meant families ‘that can’ are often driving across town to ‘higher decile’ schools. While the rich get richer the poor get poorer. There is some good news though. If my recent experience in my own school is representative of the bigger picture then attitudes may be changing. When choosing a school less prospective parents are asking about ‘deciles’. Instead they are talking to their community, asking their pre-schools, and visiting and talking with principals and teachers to get a greater knowledge of their local schools. This enables schools that are successful and also work hard on building positive relationships to blossom and truly reflect their local communities.

Life has never been fair. So we shouldn’t have been surprised that last Sunday’s shake was right up there amongst the top 10 since 2010.

Time running out for MDF removal Owaka pit abatement notice expires in less than two months GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING

An abatement notice at Owaka Holdings Ltd to remove all medium density fibre is about to expire and is no-where near completion. The current abatement notice due to expire said “all of the waste MDF material identified on Plan A on the site must be removed by April 13, 2016”. Riccarton-Wigram Community Board chairman Mike Mora (inset) said at the present rate of the volume’s removal it could take up to 10 years to get rid of. “That is unacceptable to the community.” Owaka Holdings Ltd business

ONGOING PROBLEM: It could be 10 years until the medium density fibre is removed from the Owaka Holdings Ltd pit.

manager Alan Edge said the city council is managing the issue. “We’re going by the council guidelines so that is being adhered to and they monitor it each week.” The pit has been a source of contention for years and the issues came to a head in 2013 when the pile of MDF spontaneously caught alight and took weeks to contain. Last year a city council report said a minimum of one rubbish bin weighing about 1.2 tonnes was to be removed every day to

the approved location of Kate Valley Landfill. In the summer the volume was to be increased to a maximum of five bins a day estimated at 12 to 40 tonnes. The community board has recommended to the city council under the existing abatement notice that the requirement will be changed to all MDF being removed from the site by April 2019. Community board deputy chairwoman Helen Broughton said she does not think it will be

tolerable for the removal of the MDF to go beyond April 2019. “We put in what we thought was a generous time frame,” she said. Ms Broughton said if the MDF is not removed by this April the city council will have to issue a further abatement notice or prosecution. She said prosecution is unlikely to happen because the city council generally likes to work through with the owners to make sure they comply with removing the MDF. “It is far below the community’s expectations,” she said. Community board member Debbie Mora said the city council will have to wait until deadline to see what the next step is. Mr Mora said it has been a nightmare for everyone for a long time. “I’ve been dealing with that particular site for more than 25 years.” HAVE YOUR SAY What do you think about Owaka Holdings Ltd being far below the target of removing all medium density fibre by April?

Kelly Burt

Matchmaker – finding suitable Kelly Burt works at the Dogwatch Adoption Centre and has organised a Family Fun Day at the centre on Sunday. Fraser Walker-Pearce talks to her about her pets Lightning and Hiccup, why she might support the Crusaders this season, and having a child with Perthes disease Hi Kelly, thanks for chatting to me. We’ll start off with an easy one – what’s your favourite breed of dog? I wouldn’t say I have a favourite. All the dogs that come in here are cross-bred so I guess I prefer the rescued breed. We rescue and re-home condemned pound dogs at the centre. After they have their seven days at the pound there is a decision made whether to send them to an adoption centre or they are destroyed. They bring any type of dog to us, we have all kinds of breeds. Okay. So how do you help families find the right dog? It depends on what they’re looking for. We’re here to match a dog to them and their lifestyle. It highly depends on what we have and what they want.

We’re having a really good run at the moment with re-homing dogs. There seems to be a lot of people that want to adopt at the moment. So you’re a matchmaker in a way? We are kind of matchmakers in a way! We have no knowledge of the dog’s background, so we have to learn about the people they’re going to. We have a pretty casual interview with them where we want to know if they have had dogs before and we ask about fencing, what kind of activities they’ll do with the dogs, whether they’ll be left at home, and want to know about everything they will do with the dog. Ah I see. How long have you worked at the adoption centre?

I have been here for two and a half years now, and I’m 32. Before that I was at home with my son, Zack, he’s six now and at Heathcote Primary. And I’ll bet he loves it? He just loves it and he loves to learn, loves his friends and teachers. What does your job entail? It’s pretty cool because I’ll never have one day that’s the same as the next. I do everything from picking up poo and cleaning kennels to leading the social media activity for the centre. I also currently train about 65 volunteers. The volunteers do a range of jobs, from helping the day-to-day running of the centre, to cleaning the kennels, or out in the yard doing poo patrol, or even walking some of the dogs. Although I wish it was sometimes, it isn’t about playing with puppies it’s about working and helping re-home the dogs. And how about your own pets – how many dogs do you have? I have a cat and a goldfish, but no dog. I don’t have time for a dog, between working and being with my son, I choose to have my time. I do foster dogs, but between work and my child it would be unfair

to have a dog full-time. I would love to have one. Zack named the cat Lightning, after Lightning McQueen and Hiccup is the goldfish, named after the

“So many leave it too late and miss out” Enid and Neville have lived at their Summerset retirement village apartment for over four years. Neville had suffered ill-health for some time and wanted to know that Enid would be safe and well looked after should anything happen to him.

passed away. Oh I’m sorry about that. have you done much travelling in your time? No, and it’s something that I would love to do, and something I’d want to do with Zack. We used to walk and tramp quite frequently, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with a hip condition, which is a bit of a dampener. It’s called Perthes disease. We were lucky enough to secure a wheelchair for him. Now our biggest travelling is going to see family, and he loves that. He’s also really looking forward to the family fun day at the kennels. That’s not great – I bet it makes it difficult for him? It can be very difficult pain wise and with the limitations it puts on him. With it just being me we don’t really have any options, he’s number one. Hopefully he will go into regrowth and the bone will re-grow, but he will have issues that will last his whole life. All he wants to do is run and jump, and before he was playing football and martial arts, but now he’s not allowed to play sports, no jumping. Now it’ll be at least a couple of years before he can get back into it.

As Enid says, “We settled in beautifully, enjoying all the facilities, regular activities and being close to friends.” Neville’s advice is, “Once you make the decision to do it, do it.”

Love the life

WORK6226

I think in general I just love my job, that’s my favourite. People say to me all the time who wouldn’t love your job? But their idea of my job is different to what it actually is. It’s a really neat environment to work in, everyone is really lovely. I’m lucky because I enjoy it every day. I’ve never woken up and said to myself ‘I don’t want to go to work’. The worst part is the dogs that we can’t save. If they’ve been damaged in whatever way, and they’re beyond care it’s a sad reality that we can’t save them all. It’s not something that happens often – we have a very low euthanasia rate and it’s not a decision made lightly. You always think about the what if scenarios. It’s the toughest part of the job and the toughest part for our volunteers. That is rough. What were you doing before your work at the centre? Before I was looking after Zack, I was working at a boarding kennel, and before that I was on a dairy farm. Oh right. In Canterbury? No, that was in Orini in the Waikato, I’m from there originally.

New CBHS senior monitor keen on sports Christchurch Boys’ High School has begun with the new 2016 senior monitor having a keen interest in athletics, water polo and rugby. Senior monitor Jake Nicholls said he is excited at the opportunities this year brings and is looking forward to working alongside the 2016 monitors to “give back” to the school and wider community. He is humbled to be given the privilege of this role. “Unlike some teenagers, I actually like running in the hills and in my spare time I also enjoy playing the drums, listening to music, coaching athletics, boating, fishing and waterskiing.” In the future Jake is hoping to pursue a career in sports science, psychology, leadership and coaching or “perhaps” teaching.

Goal for 2016 – give back to community St Thomas of Canterbury College is back in full swing with new college captain Luke Payne’s main goal being to give back to the community. “The main goals I have for this year is to bring the whole of year 13 together to lead and be role models for the school.” He said the leadership team wants to set up interesting and enjoyable activities for the students that will not only entertain them but help the wider community.

Hillmorton students bring it on

These activities will include the Shave for a Cure as well as they will set up a donation system inside the school called “coins for the city mission”. Mr Payne said this will give the St Thomas community the chance to donate to places that help people in need around the city. “We want to leave our mark, a legacy that can be remembered by future students and families of the St Thomas college,” he said.

House colours and rivalry were out in full force at Hillmorton High School’s annual swimming sports last week. The event was the first on the school’s calendar and it did not disappoint, with fierce competition at Te Hapua: Halswell

Centre’s pool. The whanau house, Air or Tawhirimatea, was the winner on the day with its participation levels contributing significantly to its overall points. Athletics sports day is the next school-wide event on the calendar.

Canterbury University academics are taking leading roles in the new Government science challenge to improve health and education outcomes for New Zealand children. Canterbury University College of Education, Health and Human Development Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Gail Gillon is co-directing the Government initiative. It is a new national science challenge – A Better Start: E Tipu e Rea – which was launched by Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce last Friday. The challenge aims to improve the potential of young New Zealanders to have a healthy and successful life by reducing obesity and improving learning skills and mental health in children and teenagers. The challenge for A Better Start: E Tipu e Rea is to identify critical health, education and mental health issues that, if prevented or resolved, would have a major positive impact on the vulnerable children’s lives, Ms Gillion said. A Better Start is one of 11 national science challenges designed to find solutions to large, complex issues facing New Zealanders. The challenge involves collaboration with other New Zealand universities, including Otago, Massey, Auckland and Waikato. Canterbury University academics are involved in all 11 of the national science challenges.

Scholarship boosts aviation safety studies for former pilot A former commercial pilot with a passion for understanding the ‘human factors’ of aviation safety has been awarded the 2016 Jilly Murphy Memorial Scholarship for Aviation Safety. Kate Cook now works in the operational safety team of Airways New Zealand in Christchurch, and is currently completing a Bachelor of Aviation Management degree through Massey University. She will use the $5000 scholarship – jointly offered by Christchurch International Airport Ltd and Airways New Zealand in memory of the late Christchurch air traffic controller Jilly Murphy. This will be to help fund her postgraduate study in human factors, including areas like fatigue, distraction or impaired reasoning that can impact on human performance. Jilly Murphy was a controller at Christchurch control tower and died during the of February 2011 earthquake. Aviation safety was important to Jilly, so in her honour, scholarship

applicants are required to demonstrate a tangible benefit to aviation safety. Kate says her experience as a commercial pilot set her on a path to learn more about the impact human behaviours can have on safety in the aviation sector. “I find it a fascinating subject. During my time as a pilot, I found that talking with more experienced pilots and reading accident reports was a great way to learn and understand where improvements could be made in this area,” Kate says. Airways NZ chief executive Ed Sims said he and fellow judges John Murphy (Jilly Murphy’s father) and Christchurch Airport manager of quality and security, Ford Robertson felt that Kate stood out as a truly dedicated aviation safety professional.

Students’ film picked Short story author to launch sixth book by Cannes festival GEORGIA O’CONNORHARDING

Two students from the New Zealand Broadcasting School have had their film about a dating app accepted into the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Kyan Krumdieck (right) and Annabelle Dick’s film The Grind made it into the short film corner category and will be screened at the event. The film features New Zealand people’s experience of the dating app Grindr. The Grind will be played in the Cannes Court Métrage – the short film corner of the Cannes Film Festival. Mr Krumdieck said this the corner where there is the opportunity for the films to be bought or distributed in the market. Finding out the film has been accepted into the Cannes Film Festival has come as significant news Mr Krumdieck, a feminist advocate especially with the Auckland Gay Pride festival that has been running this month. The film has gained a lot of traction after it won the best student film in the national “Show Me Shorts” competition last year. Both Miss Dick and Mr

Krumdieck are both hoping they will go to the film festival event held in May. Mr Krumdieck said it will cost him and Miss Dick nearly $7000 together to travel over to Cannes and have set up a Givealittle page to help fund flights, accommodation, suits and attire and general expenses. “My goal is to have a trailer made soon for people to see.” Both are on internships as part of their studies.

Mr Krumdieck will be interning with TV3’s Seven Days while Miss Dick is down in Dunedin at Channel 39 with Dunedin Television.

Short story writer Barry Southam will be launching his sixth book next week. Mr Southam, of Mt Pleasant, has been writing fiction for the past 40 years and will be launching his collection of short stories called Exit and Entrances. The collection includes six stories, 32 poems, and two memoirs, most of which were written in the past 12 months as Mr Southam recovered from a cancer operation. The collection is inspired by the stories he told his children when they were young. This includes two memoirs about “colouful characters” in Wellington, and in Kawhia, a small coastal town on the West Coast of the North Island where Mr Southam lived for several years. Mr Southam also lived with poet James K Baxter in his urban commune in Boyle Crescent, Auckland, in the late 60s, which was described in a memoir Exodus For Some. As part of the launch of his book Mr Southam will also give a talk he titles The Perils

and Pleasures of Creative Writing. Having won several awards in his writing career, Mr Southam has written plays for both stage and radio – some which were produced at the old Elmwood Playhouse as well as for Radio New Zealand. His professional career has led him to writing reviews for theatre and while in Auckland he worked as actor in television shows. The launch will be held at the Mt Pleasant Community Centre. The book can be bought for $19.95

Ongoing energy to help clubs save money JAIMIE KEAY

Environmental charitable organisation LiteClub is continuing to help Christchurch sports clubs save money. Since starting in 2014 the organisation has visited 53 clubs in the Canterbury region and LiteClub head of operations Sam Maclean said it was all about reducing clubs’ carbon footprint. “Think of how many more gold medal Olympians we would have if every grassroots club spend more of their fund-

ing on coaching and equipment for our future stars rather than on their power and energy bills,” he said. Each time the organisation goes to a club, the team spends two to three hours installing as many eco-friendly products as possible from LED lightbulbs to recycling centres. The organisation then compiles a report to indicate what further changes can be made and give assistance with product advice and possible funding options. Mr Maclean said after a visit

to the area in October last year, the organisation has returned to keep up with demand. “During our last visit we unfortunately couldn’t get around to all the clubs that registered with us so we have come down again to get round to the rest of them,” he said. While in Christchurch, the organisation will spend time with the following clubs – Papanui Rugby League, Christchurch Yachting , Mt Pleasant Squash, New Brighton Athletics, Heathcote cricket and the Waitikiri Golf Club

Triathlon success for Girls’ High student JAIMIE KEAY

Christchurch Girls’ High School student Amelia Persson has won the under-16 girls’ Canterbury secondary schools triathlon title. Persson finished in a time of 35min 38sec, 2min ahead of second place Mya Graham of St Andrew’s College. The championships were held at Lake Pegasus on February 18. All competitors were required to complete a 350m swim, a 9km cycle and then a 3km run. Strong winds on the day caused extra challenging conditions for the athletes, in particular on the swim and cycle legs.

The school also had a one-two finish in the under-16 girls’ team event with only 30sec between the two teams. Burnside High School student Harley Porter won the under-19 boys’ race, ahead of the Christ’s College duo of Henry Idiens and Sam Averill. Year 13 student Emma Smith of Villa Maria finished second in the under-19 girls’ race, 2min behind winner Ari Graham of St Andrew’s. Christchurch Boys’ High School student Zac Taylor finished the under-16 boys’s race second, behind Saxon Morgan from St Andrew’s.

Markos swim team impressive at zonal champs TEAM EFFORT: JASI Swimming club’s Hunter Wilson, Matthew Harford, Ebony Maikuku, Emily Rennell, Lucy Jackson and Kaylee Jackson were all part of the Markos team that travelled to the recent New Zealand Zonal Championships. The team involved swimmers from Canterbury West Coast, Otago, Southland and the Nelson Marlborough region. In the overall senior competition the Markos team finished second behind team Harlequins, while in the junior competition, the team finished fourth.

Health Boost your health in five minutes or less Y

OU KNOW THOSE DAYS when your normal schedule gets thrown completely out the window? You’re tired, overrun and can barely think about the next thing on your to-do list, let alone work on your larger goals or concentrate on your health. “Luckily, major results can stem from small steps, even if they seem inconsequential,” says Paul Kriegler, registered dietitian with Life Time — The Healthy Way of Life Company. “These tiny decisions throughout your day add up to create a gradual shift towards change and transformation when it comes to your health.” When you’re flying at rapid speed throughout your day and could use a small win, Kriegler suggests trying a few of these five-minute healthy commitments. Five-minute food ideas. ■ Whip up a sustainable energy boost. Think of food as fuel for your body. ■ When you’re busy and on the run, don’t forget to pack healthy lunches and snacks to keep you nourished throughout the day. ■ A protein and powdered greens shake is the perfect quick snack or lunch. ■ Wash and cut up vegetables at the beginning of the week to

pack for lunch. ■ Make a three-ingredient salad. All you need is lettuce, a protein and another vege. ■ Throw together stew or chili ingredients for a week of healthy dinners and lunches. Fit in a five-minute workout. Kriegler says a workout doesn’t have to (and shouldn’t!)

disrupt your entire day. If you find yourself with five minutes to spare, get up and move. ■ Work out your kinks with five minutes of stretching or foam rolling. ■ See how many push ups you can do in five minutes. ■ When you’re at work, run up and down the stairs.

■ Fit in two sprints up and down your street before dinner. ■ Do three to six yoga poses to target a particular body part or objective. Find a yoga video (or several to rotate) that focuses on relaxation or strength. ■ Head out to your backyard for five minutes of jumping rope, playing tag with the kids

or trying a YouTube exercise video that looks interesting. Plan for the days/weeks ahead. Achieving a goal always involves planning. Find five minutes in your day to make sure you have a healthy plan in place. ■ Plan a healthy menu for dinner tonight or start your healthy shopping list for the week. ■ Pack your gym bag for tomorrow’s workout. Take time for yourself. “When you’re constantly on the go, remembering to take time for yourself can be a challenge,” says Kriegler. “Whether you have to get up five minutes early or stay up five minutes late, fit in some time to connect with yourself.” Try a five-minute meditation to relax your body. ■ Walk outside for a few minutes of sun and fresh air. ■ Pour yourself a big glass of water to take your supplements with in the morning. ■ Call someone in your support network for encouragement. This could be a weight loss coach, running or workout buddy, friend or spouse. Although these may seem like minor tips, these small wins can help you on your journey toward a healthier way — BPT of life.

Connection with others enriches well-being By Rachel Grunwell “The people, the people,” replied American superstar Shiva Rea. My question had been “What was the highlight of your trip to New Zealand?” Shiva was TER a string of MARamong top yogaSteachers at the four-day annual Wanderlust festival in Taupo. More than 3000 people flocked there for a smorgasbord of yoga and meditation classes, mindful living workshops, healthy food and music. Festival director Jonnie Halstead dubbed the festival “yoga-tainment” (yoga and entertainment). It catered to the mainstream, not hippies, he emphasised. Shiva calls yoga “fun therapy”. She remarked that

Maori elders. We stood on the site where the haka was born. Midway through the bush walk, Shiva led a yoga nidra (meditation). Our group lay under the sun, lakeside, and this was so powerful I reached that bliss place and I’m pretty sure I fell asleep — and I wasn’t the only one! But what I took away most from Shiva that weekend was more than memorable yoga moves and experiencing a meditation so powerful I could transcend into a place of utter peace. I felt Shiva’s incredible presence. Shiva holds hands, embraces and locks her gaze on strangers. She holds you with her strong, tiny arms with intention at any opportunity —

I was lucky enough to accompany her too in a group to Rotopounamu (a bush walk around a beautiful lake) in the Tongariro National Park. Here she relished receiving a traditional Maori welcome, songs and doing the hongi with

and longer than several moments. She sees you, listens, asks questions of you. I was lucky to have time with this yoga rock star. But I wasn’t special. Shiva delightfully does this with whomever she crosses paths. Each soul is special in her shining, “seeing” eyes. Connecting with others enriches our well-being. It’s at the heart of yoga. Material possessions fade. Shiva’s right — life’s about people and connection. ■ Rachel Grunwell is our weekly wellbeing columnist. She’s the director of inspiredhealth.co.nz/.

However, having healthy breakfasts need not require a lot of time or effort. It can be as simple as making better and smarter choices. “One of my favourite breakfasts is a bagel with cream cheese but when I was looking to make healthier choices, I thought this was too indulgent,” said New York Times best-selling author and food blogger Andie Mitchell. “In reality, it’s about moderation and eating a wholegrain bagel with a natural cream cheese is a guilt-free breakfast option I love.” Here are five wholesome yet easy breakfast options that can start your day off on the right nutritional foot:

Reserved for you 37 Springwater Ave, Northwood Auction: March 03, 2016

uilt from Oamaru stone and framed by fabulous gardens, and a stunning reserve aspect, this stylish contemporary home plays host to three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including an en suite off the master) and the added convenience of a generous study. No where is the attention to detail that went into the design and construction of this superlative residence more evident than in the kitchen, a highly functional space complete with all the prerequisite bells and whistles. A variety of living zones offer flexibility for any and every occasion, with both the dining area and the conservatory enjoying compelling views across to the adjacent native reserve. A double-sided gas fire contributes to the home’s inherent warmth, and high ceilings enhance the sense of space, while seamless indoor/outdoor flow ensures you’ll spend plenty of time enjoying the magnificent grounds. And it’s here that our green-thumbed vendors have really thrived, pouring considerable time and energy into the establishment of a fabulous outdoor area. Lush lawns offer plenty of room for the kids to play and the pets to roam, while sunsoaked entertaining spaces ensure the adults have their own space to relax and unwind. When a change of scenery is required there’s a children’s park right across the road and the Groynes is just a stone’s throw away. Double garaging and plenty of off-street parking completes the appeal, while the

proximity to the Northwood Supa Centre ensures every amenity you could ever need is within easy reach. The pride our owners have taken in their home is clear for all to see, and the decision to leave was certainly not an easy one to reach. But with their minds made up and their thoughts now focused on the next chapter of their lives, they present their lovingly maintained home to the market with genuine determination and resolve. Open Days: Saturday and Sunday, 2.30pm to 3.15pm. See you at the open homes or call me today for a private viewing appointment - contact Deb Harvey of Harcourts Gold Papanui (Licensed Agent REAA 2008) on 352 6166 or mobile 027 220 6565.
